Chapter Twenty-Six: Marriage
After speaking, Ye Zhiqiu glanced at Chu Xin, as if he was inquiring. Chu Xin originally had a plan in his heart, and he would never accept the marriage contract, he didn't want Yun Tan to know too much and have no hope, but since Ye Zhiqiu had already thrown out the topic, it was impossible to hide it from Yun Tan at this moment, so he closed his eyes and only acquiesced. Yun Tan's intentions are clear in his heart, but he is a monk, he can take her in so that she will not be swallowed up by the troubled times, but he can't give her what she wants. In this case, if Ye Zhiqiu wants to tell her about this, let him go, and it may be really good for her to cut off her thoughts as soon as possible.
Yun Tan was anxious, and urged Ye Zhiqiu to say, "Go on!"
Ye Zhiqiu continued: "Xiao Wang's father set this marriage for the eldest brother after Ye'er was born, and now that his father has passed away, this matter has become the most concerned thing in his mother's heart. Moreover, the eldest brother was taken away by the Deadwood Master back then, and the news was not known about life and death, and his mother also persuaded Ye'er to give up the marriage contract. Originally, Ye'er had never seen her eldest brother, but since she knew that there was such a marriage contract, she was determined to wait for her eldest brother to come back, and she refused to regret her marriage. Ye'er's name of 'Jiangcheng's No. 1 Beauty' is not all because of her beauty, but also contains everyone's praise for Ye'er's steadfast character. ”
Facing Yun Tan's incredulous eyes, Ye Zhiqiu nodded affirmatively. Yun Tan felt that her hands were trembling, she shook her fists to calm herself down, and said to Ye Zhiqiu: "He won't accept it, he is a monk!"
The afterglow of Ye Zhiqiu's eyes swept towards his original heart, and said meaningfully: "Well, I have to ask the eldest brother." ”
Hearing this, Wang Chuye looked at Ye Zhiqiu suspiciously, as if he had doubts in his heart, but it was inconvenient to speak. Ye Zhiqiu felt Wang Chuye's gaze, nodded slightly to her, and stopped talking. Wang Chuye took back the words that came to his lips, and still sat silently on the side, as if waiting for the episode in front of him to end.
Yun Tan couldn't accept this matter, she told herself that her original intention, whether it was a person or a heart, could only belong to her, only in this way could she be complete, she could not be bound by others, and she could become an immortal. But a question arose in her heart: Is it really just because she wants to become an immortal that she minds? She didn't dare to touch the real answer. All she knew was that she was flustered now, like a hedgehog with no way out, longing for someone to come and rescue her, but then erecting a spike full of spikes to guard the whole world.
Yun Tan looked at Chu Xin, hoping that Chu Chu could give her an acceptable explanation. But he closed his eyes and chanted silently, and between the opening and closing of his lips, the Buddhist beads walked freely and methodically in his hands. With tears in her eyes, Yun Tan gently pulled his cuffs and asked him to open his eyes to look at her, but he seemed to be motionless, so she took the trouble to pull it over and over again, but he still didn't move. She wanted to be angry, she wanted to be angry, but she found that the confidence in her heart seemed to be drained and empty. One moment she was still secretly proud that she could stay by his side, and the next moment she fell into the abyss like falling into an ice cave with hope.
The original intention was to be determined not to care about her, Yun Tan stood up with a wry smile, wiped away the tears that had slipped, glanced at the three of them and turned to leave.
Hearing the footsteps of Yun Tan leaving, Chu Chu opened his eyes, he looked at Yun Tan's back, and he was still motionless until he disappeared. Wang Chuye looked at Chu Xin and Yun Tan, and tears fell unconsciously. She asked to Chuxin: "Brother Xiuyuan changed into a monk's robe again, but he already knew what his aunt meant?"
Chu Chu retracted his gaze and said to her: "I am a monk, I have no marriage, Miss Wang Chu is as bright as a pearl, let's find another lover." ”
Wang Chuye's eyes dimmed, Ye Zhiqiu couldn't bear it, there was pain in his eyes, and he said to Chu Xin: "What I said to Miss Yuntan just now, didn't I say that I knew with my eldest brother? When Ye'er was sixteen years old, there was still no news from the eldest brother, and the parents of the two parties wanted to make the decision to withdraw from the marriage, but Ye'er firmly believed that you would definitely come back and refused to withdraw from the marriage. Now that the eldest brother is really back, he is no longer a monk, but why should he refuse Ye'er?"
"No matter whether the master expels me from the master or not, I am still me, and I will not change my original intention. “
"Then why is the eldest brother so sociable?"
"I have my own reasons. ”
Wang Chuye sighed lightly and said, "Brother Xiuyuan, do you know your mission?" The Ye family and the Wang Chu family are not ordinary princes of Jiangcheng, our family is cursed, and the union of you and me is not a whim of the two parents, but a last resort. Brother Xiuyuan's reluctance to marry each other is really righteous. ”
Chuxin was very surprised when he heard this, his mother once told him about his marriage contract with Wang Chuye, and also said how his father died with regret, and he knew him with emotion and reason, hoping that he would accept the marriage with Wang Chuye. Even though he refused, his mother did not give up and was still persuading. He only knew that the marriage contract was about his father's last wishes and Miss Wang Chu's affection, but he insisted that he was a monk and was unwilling to accept such an arrangement. He still has a task to do, just waiting to find a suitable time to say that he knows Ye Zhiqiu and his mother. But what is Wang Chuye talking about now? curse?
Ye Zhiqiu looked at Wang Chuye, and she still said this. Originally, his mother and he didn't want the eldest brother to know, when Ye'er was sixteen years old, the two families wanted to change the object of marriage to him, but Ye'er disagreed, and always regarded him as a younger brother in her heart, in fact, he was only two years younger than her. He didn't understand why Ye'er was so determined, she had never even met her eldest brother, but she had only heard some stories about her eldest brother before he was three years old from her mother's chattering memories. But at that time, he was already sick, and he really didn't dare to give her any promises, and he didn't want to delay her life, so he didn't force it. He dragged his sick body for so many years, and when he got a little better, he also thought about why he and Ye'er couldn't give it a try, so when he saw Yun Tan, he actually had a little luck, and felt that if the person that the eldest brother liked was Yun Tan, would Ye'er look at him more because of this? But when he calmed down, he also knew that it was impossible for the eldest brother and Yun Tan, if the eldest brother wanted to marry a wife, he had to be a woman from the Wang Chu family, Ye'er had always known this, so she was not in a hurry or angry at all, because in the love of the eldest brother, the only winner could only be her. And he is destined to be a man with a thin life, and he cannot be compared with the strong and strong big brother. So he and his mother have been working hard, hoping that the eldest brother can sincerely accept Ye'er and live happily with Ye'er, just like his mother and father.
But now, Ye'er still couldn't hold her breath and told her eldest brother about it.
Chu Chu looked at Ye Zhiqiu suspiciously, but Ye Zhiqiu didn't know how to speak, so he had to say to him: "This matter is a long story, let's let my mother tell it herself." ”
